Oz Jet to Karratha by October
Howdy Guys,
Just to let you all know OzJet is finishing studies on Perth-Karratha and its expected they will launch services starting in October.
They are expecting to have an early morning flight to and from Karratha and a early evening flight to and from Karratha.
This is great news, Qantas is going to have 3 services a day, Qantaslink has 3 services a day and now OzJet will most likley have 2.
CCI has warned that if the town doesnt use them we are gunna loose them, especially now that if the gas projects go ahead theres another few thousand FIFO workers, hopefully some of these contractors put their staff onto OzJet.
They are also planning on having a frequent flyer program up and running-dunno what you would use the points for?
All i can say is bring on some competition, it shouldnt cost $600 rtn to Perth, its only a 2 hr flight.

If Skywest couldn't make money flying to Karratha, what makes Ozjet think they can? Perhaps I should ask what was wrong with the Skywest service before they pulled out? 
Sure is going to be crowded up there once the red E-Jet's show up

Thing with Skywest was sometimes they were alot dearer than Qantas,
ALWAYS delayed out of Karratha and because of that people simply didnt support them. They also didnt have good times departing Karratha where as QF did.
And a big reason was no company wanted a contract with them.
Where as OzJet is comming in at a good time, will most likley have cheap fares and offers a business class product.
Hopefully everyone has learnt their lesson and is sick of paying way over priced tickets and supports OzJet, and nothing like flying a classic
Would be great to see DJ up here as well but they dont really seem to give a **** about regional WA either so doubt that we will see them at all.
Theres alot of money to be had in regional WA but certain airlines are rapeing the markets so to speak.

Yet another early morning flight out of Perth, they should be able to depart sometime before about 9am unless they can get out early enough to beat the rush.
Just keep them coming, plenty of capacity out of Perth in the morning!

Chad, why should the RAAF (ie taxpayers) have to fund the massive costs of relocating the training infrastructure to an airfield that has been set up as an operational military base. Curtin does not have a satelite airfield like Gin Gin so a new one would have to be constructed. The RAAF has been at Pearce long before the majority of commercial operators started services.
The sensible thing to do is work out a more efficient use of Perth airspace and Air traffic procedures to get the most efficient outcome for all airspace users.

Watch this space, as AsA reckons the current setup is too dangerous and is about to give us even more trackmiles than we currently have. Not a criticism, just the fact.
Ozjet killer, complete with new highspeed roo paint job:
The new livery looks great, but the logos on the nacelles are a bit of overkill, bit too close to the tail...

XR are also apparently considering re-entering the KTA market.

Not sure, according to the paper they are going to offer Karratha a business class product, so doubt that it would be the whole a/c, would be great though 
Otherwise might have 2 or 3 rows of J and rest Y?

Alliance??
Would they run actual sched services though?
Well yeah im still waiting as well, so where the hell is Ozjet, Skywest and Virgin all saying that you are interested in flying here yet no action. People will support you if you have lower airfares than the greedy rat.
